A Garmin Connect IQ widget to display information from your tado° smart thermostat on your Garmin device.
This is still a work in progress. New features will be introduced in the future. If you have questions, ideas or found a bug, please create an issue.
The widget depends on data from the tado° Connect IQ bridge. This API serves tailored made data data to make the traffic as fast as possible.
This widget is not build by tado°.
- An overview of the current temperature, the set temperature and the humidity in your zones.
- Navigate through all zones, separate from each other.
- If you have multiple homes then the widget will ask you to choose a home from which the zones will be displayed (it is not yet possible to change to another home).
At this moment the widget is in alpha phase and only supports the Fenix 5 plus. Support for other devices will be added in the future.
You are free to download the source of the widget and compile it for your own device. It is not tested (yet) on any other device then the Fenix 5 plus though.
- Download the package for your device from the releases page.
- Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
- Place the package in the
Garmin/Appsfolder on your device.
- The main screen might not display all zones. You can sort the zones in the Tado app.
You can add your own features if you like. If you want to extend the features of the API, then you need to be able to access it over a global reachable secure connection. You can use Expose to make your development environment available for the widget. Change the BaseUrl in TadoApp.mc to the Expose URL to test.

- Use System.error() to report errors in the production app.
- Create issues for all other todo items.
- A -2 error pops up every now and then when the device is not connected to a phone.
- Check code style/formatting rules.
- Update layout ids. Most have layout at the end of the id, but some don't...
- Check if all web requests use the TadoTransaction.
- Replace the hidden access modifier for protected, since hidden is just a synonym..
- Use the screen height to determine how many zones can be displayed on the screen.
- Test the 401 handling in the onReceive method of TadoTransaction. Is this working as expected?
- Test the error handling in the accessCodeResult method of the login transaction. Is this working as expected?
- Remove all debug information.
Move the app code into a separate dir and move unused images from the app dir to a separate dir (possible in Eclipse, but not in VS code).
The data field contains a debug option, to set this up follow these steps:
- Uninstall the data field
- Install the data field and turn on the debug option in the settings
- Connect the watch with an usb cable to your computer and browse to the folder
\GARMIN\APPSRemember the most recent name of the PRG file - Browse to the folder
\GARMIN\APPS\LOGSand create a txt file with the same name as the most recent prg file - After running the data field for a while the txt file should contain debug info about the weather retrieval
